The DRL (deuce request live) Top Five of Everything
The Weekend in Atlanta Edition.
5... Meredith Q. Responding to my asking the pilot if we could do a fly by of the tower like in Top Gun, she said "Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full". That is funny. (Still one of the funniest things I've ever heard)
4... Josh and James, who dared to get onto a plane with no parachutes, after they had to jump off the battery.
3... Steak and Shake. Gosh, I love that place.
2... Chess Cake, or more specific, Steph Campbell's Chess Cake. Its some good stuff.
1... Emily Eldridge, who opened up her home to us even though bizarre roommates forbade us to touch their stereo equipment.
Just missing the cut: Lady Marmalade, Jason Q, Wax n Facts, Taco Mac and Erin. (for the record, I learned how to say that French phrase in the song from "Lady Marmalade" on this weekend... Steph Campbell taught me... and I don't know what Wax n Facts is...)
The Spotlight Haiku

The Deuce. The best there
is, the best there was, the best
there ever will be.

Top Ten Christian Albums of All Time,
as voted on by you, the DW audience.
We now move up to number seven on our list of all time Christian albums. Here are Amy Anderson's favorite cds: "Jesus Freak", dcTalk; "Much Afraid" and "Jars of Clay", Jars of Clay; "Life, Love and Other Mysteries" and "Steady On", Point of Grace.
Number Ten - Craig's Brother, "Homecoming"
Number Nine - Third Day, "Third Day"
Number Eight - Nichole Nordeman, "Wide Eyed"
Number Seven-Caedmon's Call, "Caedmon's Call"
I don't know about the rest of you, but when I first get a CD, I read the lyrics along with the song, until I have it memorized. As I looked through the words, one phrase stood out to me, and always does. Its from "Lead of Love" [the opening track], "...and how you've made good of this mess I've made is a profound mystery..." That gets me everytime. Even as I type this, my eyes blur with unshed tears, as my heart is filled with joy and overwhelmign gratitude. It's words, phrases, and thoughts like these, that make this CD what it is. Caedmon's Call has never been one to "sugar coat" anything. They tell you like it is, then show you His grace, mercy and love through songs of praise, adoration and encouragement. I've listened to this CD more times than I can count, but everytime, He's shown me something new. Funny how that works.You can talk to most any 20-something and they'll tell you how great Caedmon's Call, is.... but you don't have to take their word for it. Find out for yourself, if you don't already know. (Meredith Quintana)
